Thank you. Yes I've seens this but my need is to use 2 or more links at the
same time :-)

I've looked at tinc code and it seems to be possible to do this by adding a
layer between node and connection and a 'routing' module which will dispatch
packets between connections. The routing module may be a plugin so one may
put it's own rules.

Any thoughts on this ?
